My 2005 has had issues with this potentiometer for as long as I've owned it (6yrs ish)
Always had to start with clutch pulled in, mostly wrong gear displayed and in the last couple of years no display at all.
It did get removed and cleaned at one point and worked for a few months but then failed again.
Just learned to live with it and forgot about it....til we were touring Ireland and some water got into the 3pin connecter and the bike ran like an absolute dog and was pretty much unrideable. Now bearing in mind this thing hasn't worked for years it wasn't on the radar to check and I went through every other bloody connector before I checked it.
Once dry and plugged back in(display still blank) bike was back to normal.
Anyway, it's packed with dielectric grease now and hopefully will behave itself.
